India U19 struggled to build partnerships in the first half of their innings, losing wickets at regular intervals and reaching just 85 runs after 23 overs. Arjun Rajput then took charge and played an excellent innings of 107 off 85 balls, bringing up his fifty in 43 balls and hundred in 80. He also shared a 64-run partnership with Manal Chauhan, which helped India recover. However, once Rajput was dismissed at 169/7, the lower order could not add enough runs, and India were bowled out for 208. Rizwan Ullah's three wickets played an important role in keeping the total under control.
Pakistan U19 also lost early wickets and were struggling at 61/5, but Hamza Zahoor turned the game around with a brilliant century. He scored 100 off 108 balls and built a match-winning 106-run partnership with Jahangir Bilal. Hasnain Abbas Dar also contributed 38 runs, helping Pakistan stay in the chase after losing wickets in the middle overs.
